Todd over at isellpens has them for really low prices. I never really considered the 78G because I always heard it was a typical asian fine nib. I did not know there was a B stub version. When I saw it I did not think twice, especially at the price. It came with the push bar converter too. The pen really reminds me of my Parker Slimfold in just about every respect. The nib is just a little bit sharp and I have to be carefull about the position I hold it at while writing. Other than that it is smooth. It is maybe not as smooth as the Lamy 1.1 but it could be the sharpness of the edges that I am confussing with the smoothness of the nib.
